BeastKeeper Big Fish Posts: 444 Kudos: 389 Votes: 47 Registered: 27-Apr-2004	the reason why your fish are lifeless is because you tank is three times too small!! one oscar is easily to big for a 55 gallon. i have one oscar in a 120usg tank. best bet is to get ride of two and keep the one that looks the best. its hard to part with them but in your case it is a must. sorry, but food isnt the problem, it is lack of space

Oscars are not happy crowded and the waste from three large Oscars in a 55 will be extremely difficult to deal with. Before you know it they'll be suffering from "Hole in the head", a disease that is attributed to bad water conditions. --garyroland.

I would still suggest getting rid of two of them and only keeping one and then saving some money and buying a larger tank.
